Potential Graduate Students

  • I would like to attract MSc and PhD students to work in fisheries oceanography of the California Current System, with particular emphasis on small pelagic fish, krill and squid.
  • You would need to be enrolled at UCSD or SDU, and I would serve as a co-supervisor, but you would work in my lab at La Jolla.
  • I am especially interested in students who want to takle multidisciplinary problems using the CalCOFI datasets, remote sensing, and fisheries data.
  • I encourage quantitative approaches, the use of instrumentation, and statistical data analysis.
  • I will expect students to master powerful analytical tools like the R statistical language and IDL , and to work with large datasets. You will be strongly encouraged to become expert with the Linux operating system.
  • If you are keen to master new tools, to engage in active learning, to work with a team, and strive for high standards, I'd like to meet you.
  • As a start:
  • Bring any ideas you may have for a project, and we will discuss them in the context of the resources where I work and you will study.
  • Come prepared to discuss your academic background and any work experience, to see what training may help you achieve your goals.
  • Call me at 858 546 7083, or write to me by email for further information.
